Record industry communicator dies
By Chris Cooke | Published on Tuesday 28 May 2013
Terri Anderson, a long-serving corporate communications exec in the UK record industry who held senior comms roles at EMI and trade bodies the BPI and most recently the Association Of Independent Music, died on Friday after losing her battle with cancer.
Paying tribute, Tony Wadsworth, Chairman of the BPI and former boss of EMI UK, told reporters: “Terri’s professional style was low key and understated but her contribution to the industry was at a high level, confident and long term. She tackled the thorniest of issues with good humour and the deft skill of one who knows what they’re talking about. She had a ready smile and was a lovely human being”.
While Alison Wenham, Chair of AIM, added: “There were very few people like Terri in the industry, someone who didn’t seek the limelight, but who made a major difference to all the executives, companies and organisations she served. She had the respect and gratitude of the whole industry”.
